25/IX/15 - 1Pt. 6 fl. Oz. bottle @ Borefts 2015 (Bodegraven) - BB: n/a (2015-1239) Thanks to digita7693 for sharing the bottle!
Clear pitch black beer, creamy beige head, little stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: lots of coconut, caramel, sweet, chocolate, sugary, vanilla, cinnamon. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet start, caramel, sugary, coconut, milk chocolate, chillies. Aftertaste: chillies, spicy, cinnamon, alcohol, coconut, lots of chocolate. Managed to extract all flavours and aromas, without even knowing what beer this was (I wrote it down as "Psycho Tuesday", that's what I had understood when someone told me while handing me the glass).

Bottle thanks to Brian. Pours a very dark brown with small beige head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong cinnamon, vanilla bean, roast, cocoa. Medium mouth, strong roast, dark chocolate, vanilla, strong bitterness, intense cinnamon, really impressive.

Bottle shared by kermis @ Night before crazy Danish ticking spree whilst planning to give Dean a wedgie - tasting. Opaque pitch black color, fizzy dark brown but sadly quickly almost instantly disappearing head. Aroma is malts, coconut, anise, cinnamon, vanilla and sweetness. Taste has got the same flavors basically: malts, coconut, anise, firm cinnamon, vanilla, papaya, lightly rye, lightly chilli burn in the finish and nicely bitter. Very good balance, full body, medium to full carbonation.

Draught@CBC2015. Pitch black opaque colour with a mediumsized beigeish brown head. Aroma is coconut, some spices, a bit liquorice, alcohol and some vanillaish notes. Flavour is very similar with also some slight roasted and toasted notes as well as some ripe fruits and raisins to it. Thick and very tasty.
